Nash Lodge - Kitchen & Landscaping

It's the kitchen's turn. Last year Nash Lodge over went a hefty makeover. This year, the back of the house has it's turn. By next spring Don will have a new walk-in cooler and freezer, a new dishwasher, and a better floor plan to the kitchen.

Above: Main door to the kitchen/loading dock. The area will be expanded for a larger walk-in cooler and freezer with outside access and loading dock. Below: A back entrance and porch will be added to the kitchen. This will be to re-create the porch that used to be here, and to have easier access for trash and recycling facilities.

After the construction on the dining hall was finished last spring, we left the landscaping to take a beating - on purpose. We wanted to see which way the water would go and where people would be walking. After a pilot summer of sand and washouts, the landscapers are here and hard at work putting in steps.

The stonework is the first 'step' in the landscaping process. Work will continue in the spring. Kitchen renovation will continue throughout the winter.
